I suddenly realized why I have come to like The Killers so much <it’s a band, relax…>

I read this article about them on Wikipedia’s website <it’s an encyclopedia, relax> :

Lead singer "Brandon Flowers was abandoned by the first band that he was in, a synth pop band known as Blush Response, after he declined to move with the rest of them to Los Angeles, California. After he quit, Flowers responded to an ad in the Las Vegas Weekly by future guitarist David Keuning, about forming a band which was inspired by bands such as Oasis, The Cure, New Order, and The Smiths."

Of course – I’m an old guy and all the bands that inspired The Killers are bands I used to listen to in university (still do). So I guess it’s true what they say "everything old is new again".
